Description
Humphry Repton is one of England's most interesting and prolific garden and landscape designers. Renowned for his innovative design proposals and distinctive 'before and after' images, captured in his famous 'Red Books', Repton's astonishing career represents the link between the simple parklands of his predecessor Capability Brown and the more elaborate, structured and formal landscapes of the Victorian age. This lavishly illustrated book, based on a wealth of new research, reinterprets Repton's life, working methods and designs, and why they proved so popular in a rapidly changing world.
